K9 Kelp ~ Review and Giveaway

I was introduced
to K9 Kelp a few weeks ago through my blogging friend Jenna at Love is being
owned by a Husky. Jenna and the great
family of K9 Kelp are all from Canada.
When K9 Kelp asked if I would like to try their products and even
offered me an opportunity to host a giveaway, I jumped at the chance. I am extremely glad that I did.

May I kelp you?

I washed the boys yesterday using the KelpTreatment Shampoo and finished off by giving them each a few sprays of the
Conditioning Kelp Spritz. The results
were unbelievable, but I will let Bentley and Pierre tell you about it.

Bentley: “Thanks Mom. There isn’t much I enjoy more than a nice
bath and blow dry. You might think that
being a Hound Dog means I don’t care about staying clean. That is a common misconception probably
rooted in some bogus Basset folklore. The
truth is that I am very self-conscience of having the unpleasant smell of a Hound
Dog. I don’t like it one iota. My super sensitive nose knows when I get
kinda gamey smelling.”

Pierre: “I hear you Dude! People have a lot of misconceptions about dog
breeds. Most people think that just
because I am a rather foo-foo type breed that I relish grooming. The truth is; I hate getting bathed, brushed,
or cleaned up. I like having a manly rough
and tumble allure. The ladies love that musky
smell in a guy.”

Bentley: “No Pierre, they don’t. Girl dogs like a fresh smelling, well-groomed
man. Humans do too. You know, Mom has used an assortment of
shampoos on me through the

"That feels sooooo good."

years. Some
mask my odor with strong flowery scents, some make me itch, some make me smell
like a beach bum, and others are hard to rinse.
I couldn’t believe how amazing this K9 Kelp shampoo feels, it is
incredible. They make it with two main
kinds of kelp or seaweed. One is
Bullwhip and the other is Bladderwhack.
Both of them are loaded with nutritional and medicinal properties to
help dogs and humans. The Kelp that they
use is hand-harvested from the beautiful waters of Northern B.C. Canada. They are very protective of that area, so K9
Kelp is very careful to respect the delicate and complex nature of the Kelp
forests. It doesn’t smell like seaweed
though, it actually has just a hint of peppermint smell.”

Pierre:
“That’s good to know. I wouldn’t want to
use something that is damaging to nature.
There is too much bad stuff out there doing that already. Did you know that Kelp is very good for
us? Besides having superior nutritional
value, it acts a detoxifier, has rare antioxidants, vitamin K,
anti-inflammatory stuff, its high in iron, and a great stress-reliever. Gramma can use all of those things. Maybe she should bath in it too!”

Bentley: “Well, she did say
that her hands felt incredibly soft after our baths. Daddy says that he has never felt me feel so
soft. I scored extra loving from him and
even passed his smell test. I think he
was as thrilled with the results as Mom.
He couldn’t stop talking about how good I felt and might I add, he said
I didn’t have one smidgen of doggie smell.
He isn’t a fan of dog stink. My
hair is the softest that it has ever been and I don’t seem to be shedding near
as much. I wish our readers could feel
me.”

Pierre:
“I’ll bet that when the nice people at K9 Kelp invented their formula, their
Boxer, Jayda was very happy. Living in
Canada where it is stupid cold, her poor nose was dry and cracked. Everything that they looked to for relief
contained petroleum jelly. Yuck,

"I know how I look, but I am
stunning when all is said and done."

that
stuff is messy. They were so happy that
their formula worked; they wanted to share the product with other pet
parents. Now, they have two cute Boxers
named Allie and Sophie. Their pet mom is
Patricia and she takes really good care of them. I wonder if we should send Allie and Sophie
our photos along with our number. They
are babes!”

Bentley: “You know that I
already have a girlfriend. You can give
it a try though. I’m sure they will
think you’re cool. I agree that their
mom must be super nice. That’s obvious; I
mean they created an entire company with cool products to make them happy. They don’t just make stuff for pets; Mom even
got a stick of Kelp Lip Balm. Now, her
kisses are softer. She does kiss us a
lot! They have a facial mask too. But they mainly have cool stuff for us. I’d be glad to try their moisturizer, so my
paws will be nice for my sweetie to hold when I meet her. Nobody likes a rough cracked paw pad.”

Bentley: “Oh, you’re special all
right! Your pads are soft because you
prance around instead of walking like a real dog. I think I’ll call you Twinkle-Toes. *Hee
Hee* You can have the toys, but I
get the K9 Custom Coins! I want Mom to
order some with my handsome face on one side and The Returns on the other
side. Guess what else? We get to have a giveaway, so that our
readers can try K9 Kelp for themselves.
Before you ask, no, you can’t enter.”

Pierre:*Sigh* That just seems so unfair.
What happens if we run out of our shampoo and spritz? I want to always smell this good and feel
this soft. Woe is me.”

Bentley: “Mom will have to buy
us more. The Kelp Shampoo Treatment is
only $11.95 and the Conditioning Kelp Spritz is $14.95. She didn’t have to use much for both of our
baths. Dad says the way my coat feels is
well worth the price. That means that we
will definitely get more! By the way,
can we discuss this photo of you in the tub?
*chuckle* I know Mom says that she doesn’t cry
pretty. I think that it’s safe to say
that you don’t bath very pretty! You’d
better hope that Allie and Sophie don’t get a look at that! *Hee
Hee*

Pierre: “Hey, it is the end result
that we have to focus on and I look fabulous after brushing and blow drying. You look the same wet or dry. My transformation is epic! Anyway, is it easy for our friends to enter
and win some K9 Kelp of their own? Is
there any purchase necessary?

Bentley: “Yes and no, it is
super simple to enter and we don’t have anything for sale. All they have to do is enter with this snazzy
Rafflecopter entry below. How about we
give our paw rating and let them get busy entering? Remember, one paw means that we are not
impressed and five means it gets our highest praise for being awesome!”

Pierre: “Of course, I know the rating
system. Should we count Gramma and
Papaw’s opinion? They are both big fans
of K9 Kelp products. They give their
thumbs up for these.”

Bentley: “No, that’d be
confusing since we don’t have thumbs. Let’s
just give our paws of approval. No doubt
about it K9 Kelp gets five paws up from us! Now, y’all go ahead and enter, so you can
love your pup’s fresh smell and super soft fur!
Oh, if you visit the K9 Kelp website, they are having a dog treat toy giveaway of their own.”

The balm worked wonders on my huskies dry feet!I am thinking I should probably leave the giveaway to your other readers, since I have had the pleasure of using this already.So good luck to everyone!ღ husky hugz ღ frum our pack at Love is being owned by a husky!

Bentley! I can't believe you enjoy getting a bath! I don't like baths at all. Well, at the groomer I enjoy them but at home I protest! I like the more natural odor, not that perfumey smell I get from a bath. Good to know you are all cleaned up for now, soon you will smell like a Bassett again, and that would be more for my nose :)

I'm one of those dogs from a foo-foo breed who isn't very fond of being groomed, but I love my groomer. BOL! I tolerate the grooming so I can visit my groomer. I'm ok with the blow dryer, it's the nail clippers that I dislike. BOL!Hugs,Pepper

OMD, you guys are too funny!! I am now convinced that this must be some pawsome stuffs! Butts, I agree with Pierre...who likes washin' all that good stink away??? Not me! I work VERY hard at gettin' just the right stink goin', only to have the peeps wash it off...not fair at all!!Anyhu, sounds like some great stuffsKisses,Ruby ♥

You two boys do the best reviews!! I wouldn't say our dogs "enjoy" their baths, but they don't hate them either. I know that we love when they are all clean and shiny. These products sound great.Jan, Wag 'n Woof Pets
